Review:
 
I honestly think that Mr Peabody and Sherman, even as if it is shown to be a movie for the younger audience is pretty sick and suitable for all ages, to be enjoyed by the older audience. Mr Peabody and Sherman starts with Mr Peabody, the world's smartest dog to adopt a boy, Sherman. As it is said, "If a boy can adopt a dog, why can't a dog adopt a boy?", it is shown that Mr Peabody, a very responsible parent raising Sherman wonderfully.
 
I think this movie is over-the-edge funny, with surprises along the way and is shown to be an impressive, filled with humour and joy. It has been brought life and is understood to look like Child's play, but ends up to be one hell of a movie.
 
I could conclude that Mr Peabody and Sherman is not a waste, that offers impressive value, even with the duration of an hour and a half.

Film Review: Divergent

Divergent
 
Title: Divergent
Language: English
Running time: 2 hr 20 min
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Action & Adventure
Directed by: Neil Burger
Distributed by: Lionsgate Films, Summit Entertainment
Ratings:8/10
 
Summary:
 
Divergent is a thrilling action-adventure film set in a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on human virtues. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy by a faction leader (Kate Winslet) to destroy all Divergents, Tris must learn to trust in the mysterious Four (Theo James) and together they must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late. Based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth.
 
I think because of it's exterior and adaption from the book, Divergent is a bit predictive. Divergent is about a girl, Tris Prior who finds it hard to realize that she doesn't belong anywhere, but belongs everywhere and is a threat to the security of the modern future that has been split into categories to ensure that peace is achieved.
 
Honestly, I really like this movie. Maybe it is my opinion but the plot is wonderfully arranged and the flow of the story isn't so bad. I don't really get why people think it's "boring". Even with the predictable fixations, I do not doubt that Divergent is good movie, better than most.
 
With good actors to portray, I think that Divergent is pretty excellent and enjoyable. Suspense-filled and full of surprises, I think that Divergent is worth the watch and worth the bills.

Ratings: 9/10
 
Summary:
 
Steve Rogers continues his journey as the super-powered American soldier who's grasping to find his place in a modern world after being frozen in ice since WWII with this Marvel Studios sequel.
 
Review:
 
I think the sequel is better than the first one. Steve Rogers, after being frozen in eyes for about seventy years was shown to be adaptive with the twenty-first century, joining SHIELD to protect the US and also to defend it. After SHIELD has been compromise by the rising of HYDRA, Captain America does not know who to trust.
 
Okay, honest to god I like this movie and due to myself, watching it twice maybe I've seen enough. Contains subtle comedic scenes and intense ones, including Steve fighting with his own best friend, who presumably was frozen too and has a robotic hand. I think Captain America is heavy enough to carry yet still enjoyable and clever. Filled with suspense, it is surely a fun movie to watch.
 
As a conclusion, if you're a Marvel fanatic, or you just like superheroes, I think it would be a thrilling movie to watch, most definitely.
